The Kiewa Valley Bowls Club is located at Coulston Park in Tangambalanga and is an important facility for physical activity and community connection.
The new surface is a synthetic woven carpet similar to the older surface and now meets all specifications to Australian Bowls Standards.
The current surface was due for renewal after 11 years in place as some parts of the surface had worn to such an extent that it is becoming unplayable.
The club had budgeted for the renewal and contributed $50,000 to the works, with the balance provided from our assets renewal funding in the 2022-23 Capital Works Program.
The recent sunny weather has allowed for the final touches to be carried out on the greens, which brings these works to completion.
Despite the wet weather, the new synthetic carpet has been now been laid, bringing this project to near completion. The final step is adding the new ditch grass to the surrounds, which will be completed once there is a little sunshine to dry it out.
Preparation works for the new synthetic carpet have begun, with the old carpet removed and the base now ready to go. The project is on target for completion in July, so there will be plenty of time for practice prior to the beginning of the new season.
Unfortunately, due to a delay in supply of the synthetic surface, works expected to be completed in May have now been reprogrammed to June/July.
A contract for replacement of the woven carpet synthetic surface of the bowling green was awarded in December 2022.
Works are being programmed for completion in May 2023 at the end of the current bowling season.
A meeting has been held with club representatives to determine the specification required for the preferred replacement surfacing.
Tenders are to be advertised for the supply and installation of the new surfacing.
